circulation of the through a register in the floor,

register such as 4heat t0 the room and of a more uniform character thanis possible by the ordinary fireplace. Ordinarily of course when a hre1s used thedoors and windows will be closed to conserve the heat. lf theroom is at all tight the ordinary lire is very likely to smoke becauseof lack of an'. My Invention has been found to provide all the airnecessary for of the fire Without smoking. ditional heat is notrequired, the register 1G may of course be closed. My improved method ofheating by eontiiiually supplyii'ig fresh air tothe room Vkeeps the airin the room in a much better condition than the ordinary fireplacemethod. The air dischanging` through theregister 1G being warmer thanthe air in the room adjacent the register naturally rises, while thecooler air around the floor is drawn to the fire and up the ehininey.There is thus a continuous i Warm air throughout the the burning room.

What I elainiis: 7

l. Heating apparatus for a room, com prising a fireplace open to theroom and provided with a flue forming an outlet from the room, an airheating chamber disi'iosed in heat receiving relation to the fireplace,said air heatingy chamber having,r a fresh air inlet outside the roolnand provided with an outlet for healed air opening :into the room at alower level than the fireplare and 4at a point remote from the fireplacelo thereby deliver fresl'i air vheated by the firei'ilace to a. pointwithin the rooin renioved from the fireplace, from which point suchheated fresh air will traverse the room baci: to the fireplace andescape through the ,flue thereof, thereby creating throughoutthe room aeirculation of fresh air heated place '2. Heating apparatus for a,`room, comfrom 'the fireof the room :traverse the room back to. the

prising a fireplace open to the room and provided with a flue forming anoutlet from tie room, an air heating chamber disposed heat receivingrelation to the fireplace, Said air heatingjr chamber .having a freshair inlet. Outside the room and provided with an outlet for heater airopening into the room at a lower level than the fireplace and at apoint. remote from the fireplace to thereby deliver ,fresh air heated bythe fireplace to a point within the room removed from the fire place,from which point such heated air will fireplace and escape through thel'lue thereof, thereby erealing throughoutthe rooin a circulation ofheat-ed from the fireplace, and means controlling;` the heated air.delivered by said air heating chamber to the before mentioned lowerremote portion ofthe room.

3.
